Does anyone know how many games the Mets got their winning runs in the 8th or

9th inning this year? Seems like it might be a lot?

[kcmets]

That Teebedee guy has been getting a lot of face time over on Gameday.

[ashie62]

Nick Tropeano today?

[ashie62]

Eickhoff... Ack!

[ashie62]

Can get Berrios before this turn in the rotation comes around again.

[ashie62]

Ball four Boo.

[ashie62]

OK, who is the long man tonight.

[ashie62]

Otter, this is ridiculous.

[bmfc1]

Eickhoff going for his 3d DFA.

[G-Fafif]

My disdain for Dansby Swanson is continually validated.

[kcmets]

Imported and recycled ...

Dansby Swanson. Drives me nuts.

[kcmets]

Beat me by less than a minute!

[ashie62]

2-0

[ashie62]

Mets could use a position player to pitch tonight.



Villar?

[Lefty Specialist]

Can someone be DFA'd while they're still on the mound? Asking for a friend.

[Lefty Specialist]

"Zack Scott, Mr. Cohen on Line 1."

[ashie62]

Yes, a position player may very well pitch tonight.



No effort to field a competitive team tonight.

[ashie62]

Eickhoff gets drilled in the belly for the third out.



His nickname is "hard contact."

[ashie62]

Really.

[bmfc1]

Anyone who bought a ticket for this should get a freebie for another game.

[Lefty Specialist]

Mets score a run in the third, so at this pace they'll catch up in......oh, never.

[Lefty Specialist]

This game now available for Schaefer vomiting.

[bmfc1]

An argument can be made that this is just one of those things, that the plethora of doubleheaders and injuries resulted in starting a pitcher who was so bad TWICE this season that he was released twice and went unclaimed by the other 29 teams.

Another argument can be made that this was a division game against a team that still thinks that it can catch the Mets and despite all of the obstacles they still should have done better than starting a pitcher who was so bad TWICE this season that he was released twice and went unclaimed by the other 29 teams.



I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game.

[Edgy MD]

For what it's worth, all three outs in the ninth were made by guys swinging with no strikes on them.



As unlikely as a comeback was, I can't respect a player who does that. And I can't respect a manager lets his players do that.



And if I can't respect them, I won't sleep with them.

Jared Eickhoff sucks a big fat eggplant.
